I think universal broad listening—people's ability to form coherent decisions like Plurality with their communities—is another important right. It means that broad listening, just like broadcasting, needs to be a universal right. Because otherwise, you have broadband, but all you do is receive television. There's no upload. The download link may be terabits per second, but your upload is maybe once every 4 years. This is a great asymmetry. If you make it symmetrical, broad listening and broadcasting become symmetrical.
